Moekana - tsu

POSTED BY DANNY CHOO On Mon 2011/07/18 22:28 JST in Mascot

I love this one! I look at it when things start to muck up - its kinda soothing so it keeps me calm ^^; Our Kanata Hoshikawa sits on the moon shining over the evening cityscape.

つ (tsu) for "tsuki"

Following on from the previous hiragana in this Moekana series which was ち, today we learn "つ" (tsu). Today's word is "つき” which means "moon".

The katakana equivalent of "つ" is "ツ".

Example

You can use this in a sentence like:-
Sore wa tsuki de wa nai, uchu sute-shon da!
それはつきではない、宇宙ステーションだ！
That's no moon - its a space station!

Exercise

Type out "つ" 50 times (not copy paste) into a mail and send it to your teacher or boss while chanting "つ" 20 times.

Any other word that begins with "つ" that's otaku or Japan related that you can think of?

All Hiragana in the Moekana series are tagged "hiragana"
